Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line with equation $\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{6}\mathbf{x}$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The slope of the given line is 6 and the y-intercept of the given line is 0.

Step 1 – State the concept

The general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is given as $y=mx+c$, where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the y-intercept.

Step 2 – List the given data

The given equation of the line is $y=6x$.

Step 3 – Identify the slope and intercept

Given equation: $y=6x$

 

Comparing the given equation with $y=mx+c$, $m=6$ and $c=0$

 

This implies that the slope of the given line is 6 and the y-intercept of the given line is 0.
